Maine Senate Rejects Sardine Bill and Tightens Environmental Rules
In a desultory week for Maine environmental policy the Senate voted 30 to 0 against the sardine bill weakening state laws, while restricting public questions at BEP hearings 24 to 5, and killing a wilderness preserve plan for 40,000 petitioned acres on Bigelow Mountain. The chamber also stalled a returnable bottle measure and blocked broad safety rules for oil tankers and nuclear plant oversight, signaling a constrained agenda amid lobbying by Pittston Co. and a broader anti-environment tilt.
